    We didn't have a lot to do, but it took most of the day. Putting in gauges is a very involved process. A great time was had by all, even if it was 103*. I went with the Isspro gauges that match the factory dodge gauges, and I put them on the A pillar. Also, we ditched my muffler, and I went to a straight pipe. All in all, I really like the way everything came out.
    On to the pics:
    Here's the fuel isolator location:

    Here's the drilled and tapped exhaust manifold for the EGT's:

    Here's the elbow drilled for boost:

    Here are the gauges alone, installed:

    Here are the guages along with the factory gauges to compare thier looks:

    And while Cowhand was getting all that done, Gerry and I were ditching my muffler and replacing it with this:

    After the stuff was done, we cooked up some carne asada and pollo asada, and had some beers and watched the bristol race on Cowhands BIG *** tv! It was a great time, and I can't wait to do it again.

    Looks great. waytogo How does it sound now? Gauge installs are a pain to do with any sort of cleanliness, but they look awesome when they are done. Time to get a fueling box :D

    The truck sounds great! I love the new sound, although Im a bit nervous about how much drone its going to have once I start hauling my trailer and jeep, but Im not gonna worry about that for a while.. I don't have the money to go wheeling for a while, just bought a house, and Im getting married, so I think the wheeling will be put on hold for a while. The gauges work awesome, and thanks to a buddy of mine for doing 99% of the install, they came out really clean, and nice. I figure, if the straight pipe is too loud towing a trailer, I'll throw an aftermarket muffler on there, as my stocker got pretty thrashed when we took it off.. that was a LOT of work.
